Thus begins the first movement of Rainer Maria Rilke's DuinoElegies. Started in a period of spiritual crisis in 1912 and completed in a second burst of inspiration in 1922, these ten loosely connected lyrics have come to define the Rilkean sensibility. With their symbolic landscapes, vatic pronouncements, complex tropes, and often haunting intensity, the Elegies rank among the outstanding visionary works of the century.Edward Snow, whom Denise Levertov called far and away Rilke's best contemporary translator, offers his versions of these challenging, provocative poems, which should serve as the authoritative translation for years to come.

Bowen's rock-hewn hero is a solid man with lusty appetites who loves red meat, liquor and tobacco, plays a smoking fiddle and is faithful to his woman. But a shrewd mind and wry sense of humor assert themselves eloquently in an austere tribal idiom that eschews such fluff as prepositions and rarely departs from the present tense of language--and of life.
